      Puffer fish are cute when they're small, but they get very, very big, and then they're not cute at all.

      I've been enjoying my diving in Puerto Valera's, Philippines (Sabang really). Many firsts for me. After saying I was done with uw photo, I decided to put my iPhone in a Divevolk case and take uw videos. It's a bit bigger than a GoPro but much better, and smaller than my previous set up for a still camera. I'm very happy with the results. Now comes the hard work of culling the vids, and editing the good bits. Last dive of the trip in 1hr (night dive) and then I make my way back to Seattle.

        I just saw this video on Reddit of somebody petting a Moray Eel like a puppy, crazy...

                      I’m changing my sunto EON core to https://shearwater.com/products/perdix-2-x-swift-combo
                      I’m fucking tired of pointless alarms.

                        First dive on Thistlegorm complete. Waiting for the sun to go down to do night dive there. The current is punishing…

                          Yeah, I had an EON Core (and Paula still does). But it fucked me way too many times by locking me out for minor transgressions that I did not notice. And the tank pod was fucking useless. I was chatting to a Divemaster on a recent trip, and she has an EON, but whenever she did a "proper" dive, she borrowed her boyfriends Shearwater.

                          And great choice of the Perdix - too tech for my needs (not that that usually stops me 🙂 )

                                      @Giles there are two types of wetsuit divers - those that piss themselves in the wetsuit and others that don’t admit to it.

                                      … but no, not yet on this safari.
